Buon Giorno!

As a missionary involved with evangelism and church planting in Italy
several years ago, John Verderame frequently used “creation evangelism”
to “pave the way” for a presentation of the Gospel message.
Yet, he found there was a severe lack of creation-based resources
available in Italian. So, when John joined the Answers in Genesis
team last year as “information representative,” he was excited
about the possibility of also translating some of AiG’s tracts
and booklets into Italian. As he had time, John began working on
the translations, emailing the finished product to two Italian nationals
for editing—Luigi Speciale, an optician and amateur astronomer
and Annamaria Goertzen, who has a diploma in Industrial Chemistry,
and works with her Canadian husband as a church planter in northern
Italy.

Thanks to John’s hard work and the efforts of these
dedicated volunteers, AiG is pleased to announce the launch of its
newest Web site, Risposte nella Genesi. “Though nothing can
replace the personal contact that a missionary has, the Internet is
a powerful tool for disseminating information, both for equipping
the saints and for laying the foundational truths that lead to salvation,”
John says. (Click here to view the new Italian
Web site.)

With this new site, we look forward to reaching some
of the over 18 million individuals who have Internet access in Italy
(incidentally, this number puts Italy in the top four nations per
capita of home Internet usage as of July, 20011).

We also offer the following booklets in Italian: Dinosaurs and
the Bible, Is there really a God?, Where did Cain get his wife?,
and the soon-to-be-released Why is there death and suffering?

If you are highly fluent in Italian (or any other languages besides
English and Spanish), and would like to volunteer to translate AiG
materials, please contact us.
